Having problems with your Gateway 507GR PC Desktop ?

I had a power outage and when the power returned my computer was off as expected. I tried to push the on/off button but only get the power light in the button to flash and I hear a sound in the speakers at same frequency as the light flash.

Hp F 2105 MONITOR volume and sleep problem

My HP Pavilion dv9005us has two issues which I cannot resolve. The wireless device is not even recognized or detected by the computer, and there seems to be an electrical problem where the lighted buttons at the top flicker on and off from time to time, which may also be linked to an issue where the computer will at times refuse to turn on after I press the on button and watch it all light up in response and immediately shut off. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to here about your DV9005us start up problems.1st. It would be good to know any other problems you may have had in the past either related or non related to you current problems..\015\0122nd. Has the unit be ...

It sound like a motherboard or Bios problem. When you first push the power button on, the computer looks to the BIOS to tell it what to do. If the motherboard is bad, or the BIOS is corrupt, it will lock up, which is why the fans stop running. To fin ...
